Wilmington North Carolina, surrounding areas and BS.

Got your pool floaties? Noodles?

 

Well we less than mile away from each other, so we hang out and drink beer together

 

Unicorn blow up son!!

 

Also lets have each others backs if hits, we each call on each other if we need help at our business or houses

 

You just lean on up against me, forest. I’m gonna lean right back against you.

Seriously though. I’ll be here. Anything you need let me know. I have a little prepper blood in me so you need anything survival related, odds are I have it lol.

I’ve been a part of the aftermath and rescue efforts, I’ve lived through multiple tornados, and have been inland for some big hurricanes in the gulf. This will be the closest I’ve been to the coast during one. It’s gonna be interesting but I’ll be wearing my brown pants

 

Well I am not from Wilmington but I am vacationing on Topsail Island this week. Renting a house right on the beach, never experienced a hurricane and not sure I want too. From Roanoke Va. area and they are even predicting severe flooding and higher then normal winds there. So we will be cutting vacation short and heading home. Does anyone know how soon they issue evacuation notices for the island and how bad the traffic gets? We have more then enough food water and a full tank of fuel. It is normally a 5 1/2 hour ride home.
You all be safe, and hope this thing fizzles out before it hits.

 

If it were me I wouldn’t leave any later than wed night. That bridge into Topsail would clog quick I would think

 

I'm having my family leave wend morning

 

I work for the City's Storm Water division and the fiance is and RN at the New hanover hospital. I will be working up to the storm and she will most likely be mandated from being on shift at the hospital. We stocked up on food and water. My concern other than the rental house being destroyed why the dog is in it is the vehicles getting tore up from debris while sitting in the parking lots at work. Not sure what precautions I can take to protect them as this will be our first hurricane experience. Didn't see many of these hurricanes in Pennsylvania.

 

Yea I own an addiction treatment program next to th hospital and have to figure out a way to evac 18 young men and put them up somewhere safe further inland lol.

My wife and kids are evacuating Wednesday. I’ve got plenty of supplies to ride it out as long as my home stays in tact

My plan is to shelter in place as long as I can get my family, staff, and clients out without my assistance

 

Thanks bud!! you as well be safe!!

 

Yep making evac plans for my business now

 

@nastyneight @Dangerdave

I'll be around the island so if guys need any before, during, or after let me know and I'll try to help if I can.

 

We have decided to leave Tuesday around noon, its just not worth the risk. Maybe beat the worst of the traffic. We have vacation insurance so if it pays great if not better safe then sorry.

 

DAng you be on the bridge/island during the storm?

 

There you go, sounds smart to me (saying someone who is not leaving of course)

 

@nastyneight i may try to ride it out at my office.

I just remembered I’ve been trying to get my landlord to replace my rotting roof for 6 months so it may not hold up haha

 

That is one my main concerns also, the roof on our shop is crap, if its a 4 it will be screwed, shoot a good 2 would be a issue for the shop
